OK, let's do this. We've got 9681 and 7771 and we're adding them all together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 1 in column 1 and get 2.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 in column 2 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 7 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 4 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9681 + 7771 = 17452.
